Building high-performing teams that crush key results

About Me

As an experienced leader with over a decade of experience, I excel in establishing new teams, building culture, and delivering efficient, agile product management operations. My approach is rooted in user-centered design strategies and data-driven decision making.

With an entrepreneurial mindset, I've led successful initiatives at major companies - from search platform modernization at GameStop to customer identity at Capital One, and game-based recruiting at GE. I thrive on building cross-functional partnerships and ensuring transparent execution of strategy.

When I'm not building products, I'm passionate about supporting STEM education initiatives, serving as the advisory board chair at a local high school computer science department. I believe in empowering the next generation of technology leaders.
